WARNING!
When uploading firmware to the wireless router, do not interrupt
the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading
a new page. If the browser is interrupted, it could corrupt the

When the upload is complete, your wireless router automatically restarts. The upgrade
process could take a few minutes. Read the new firmware release notes to determine
whether you must reconfigure the wireless router after upgrading.
